Today was the day. The day where everything would go perfectly. I just knew it, it would be the best day of my life.

I bet you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about. Well, let's start from the beginning.

In college I met a girl named Emma. She was a quiet girl, we never crossed paths at first when she joined or even made eyecontact. I just carried on with my life and so did she. But the way we did finally communicate was...a very unexpected way.

When Emma joined, she met the wrong people and they took her in as a slave more like. They were the girls which thought they "had it all". Yeah, you know the type of people. The ones which are selfish and damn right rude. F*ck 'em.

I was walking along with my friend one evening and Emma was being set up by them to dump water on us, as we walked under a bridge. They told her, if they did this, they'd sure make her a "popular girl". So she did.

Oh my. How much I wanted to punch her in the goddam face. She laughed and ran off, leaving us soaked. I hated her. For about a day...

The next day, the f*ckers who set her up humilliated her the next day and left her in tears. I found her nearby a tree.

Not nowing what just happened, I walked over there and yelled my head off. What a douche I was. She ended up bursting into more tears.

"Um...I didn't shout that much did I?" I asked.

She sniffed and shrugged. "Sorry. I really am sorry for what I did. I-I was set up...by that gang over there. They are idiots." She mumbled.

I took one look at the gang and let out a big sigh. "Oh no. Them? Darn, they set everyone up and promise to make them famous or whatever. What did they promise you?" I asked, suddenly feeling dreadful.

"They promised to make me a popular girl. Being the stupid, stereotypical blonde I am, I fell for it." She replied.

"Ah. Don't say that! They do make it very believable and kinda hypnotize you." I sighed then sat next to her. "I aplogise for how I acted, I didn't know."

"It's fine." She mumbled.

"I'm Joe by the way, what's your name?" I asked.

"I'm Emma."

And that was our very first conversation, it's funny how I remember and it's been about 7 years?

We started to become friends and slowly progressed to best friends over 2 years.

Then of course, being the cliche man I am, I started having a crush on her. Clichè right?

Anyway, I told her one night and...she said it wasn't the right time.

I was a bit downhearted but I respected that. The crush progressed though into love. I'm so goddam cheesy, fuuuuuuuc--

After a few more months. It seemed to me she was dropping a few hints she liked me too. Being the bold person I am, I went for it again and she said she liked me too!

Today is now officially the day where we've been dating for 6 years!

And today is the day where I wish to propose. I have told her mother about this and she is so excited and is awaiting a phonecall immediately if all goes well! I lost contact with my parents 7 years ago...they went missing and their case never got solved. No one knows where they are. But hey! No depressing stuff! I have a proposal to do.

Emma and I are going on a romantic walk tonight which she actually suggested. It's just a walk for her, but for me it's the most nervous time of my life.

~10 minutes later~

I'm outside her house. Do I knock? What do I do?

Sh*t. I'm shaking. The ring is in my pocket and I've been checking it ever 5 seconds making sure I've not lost or damaged it.

I suddenly knock,scratching the back of my head.

Immediately, she answers.

"Hey Joe!" She smiles sweetly, skipping outside and shutting her door.

God, she's beautiful. Her emerald green eyes are so striking and glisten in the moonlight. I suddenly blush realise I've been staring at her.

"Hey beautiful, shall we?" I smirked,holding out my arm to link it with hers as we walked.

She took my arm and I led us down near the seaside, it was so peaceful.

"Ah. Look at the sea, its so calm." Emma smiled,leaning into my side.

I blushed more and nodded. "It sure is." I replied.

Emma laughed. "Are you alright? I saw you standing outside my house for a few minutes whilst I was looking out the window. I was waiting for you to knock at the door." She giggled.

I froze. F*ck. Did she see me get the ring out and check over it?

In panick, I laughed and go bright red. "Ahah..Yeah, I was..Um..Just a bit nervous I guess." I gulped.

Emma raised one eyebrow but then looked back over to the sea. She stopped and looked up to the moon and the stars.

I glanced at her, confused and watched what she was doing.

"Tonight is so beautiful.." She breathed out.

I smiled. "As are you." And I kissed her on the cheek.

She blushed. This was my chance.

"Emma..Uhh..Can I say..some...stuff..?" I asked, laughing nervously.

"Sure, go ahead." She smirked at me.

"Emma. I remember the first day we met. It wasn't the best first introduction, but it was such an eventful day. As soon as we started talking I knew we would get along. After a few months. I started to really like you and called you one of my closest friends. About a year after that, you was my best friend. And even after that, I found more reasons to like you and eventually got a crush on you."

Her eyes focused on mine, she was smiling. I smiled back.

"I started to fall inlove with you. I loved everything about you. You were always there for me and you always gave me a reason to smile. I love your personality, and just..you. You are so kind and strong. You are beautiful and understanding. Everytime I see you I smile. Everytime I hear the word love I think of you and blush."

Tears where in her eyes now. Was that good?

I went on. "You are the stars in the night. You shine with beauty and you brighten up my darkest days. I love you so much Emma. And..." Without thinking I took her hand and got down on one knee.

She used her other hand to cover her mouth as her eyes watered, I could tell her was smiling though.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to start our very own family. Emma, will you marry me?" I asked, getting out the ring and holding it as I blushed.

Tears fell from her eyes and she squealed. "Yes! Of course I will!" She squealed and wrapped her arms round my neck as I stood up. We kissed a very long kiss indeed.

I couldn't stop smiling. I quickly told her we need to ring her mother, seeing as I promise to ring if all goes well. Her mother screamed too, and congratulated us.

Our wedding was fascinating. I didn't stop smiling all throughout the day. It was perfect. Emma was beatiful and her kindness infected everyone all day.

A few years later, we did start our own family. We had twin girls! Melanie and Rose. Then a year after that, we had a little boy named Max.

Of course, life isn't perfect. But certain times can. We both work and rush around alot but we always spend time with eachother and our children.

I am so happy to have my wife and children with me. They are all I wished for ever since I started to become an adult, I wanted to have a family to call my own one day. And that wish came true.
